- he unloaded the camels - It is not clear who did this work. Probably Laban told his servants to do it. It can also be translated with as "Laban's servants unloaded the camels" (UDB) or with a passive clause that does not tell who did the work: "the camels were unloaded." (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive)
